Ducati M750, 98-00
  Factory Pro Series "D08"


The Ducati M750 Monsters are excellent bikes, delivering "naked bike" Ducati style and handling performance at an affordable price as compared with the 900.

The smaller power strokes, lower gearing and importantly, price make it one of the best Ducati choices if "in town" driving is a primary use.  There were lots of then sold in San Francisco - The M750 has enough power and smoothness to be happy on the backroads, too.

Standard drop-in Ti carb kit

 Factory Pro's Marc Salvisberg's attention to detail in testing and design and the fact that Factory Pro uses an EC997 dyno and a real, 4 Gas EGA for detailed data instead of a common dealership level dyno and "air fuel ratio" for product development, gives you the Internet's #1 Ducati choice for best real world power and driveability over other jet kits for the M750.

Some dealerships who still have dealership level dynos, who have to "tune to af ratios" instead of Best Power, will try to sell that "other company's" jet kit because it "works well enough to sell" and it's a bit cheaper and they can buy direct and make a few bucks more on it.

The Factory Pro kit adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Easiest of the carb kits to install and tune.

No slide drilling!

Suggest using a BMC replacement air filter for increased airflow.

And YES, as always, float height is required for proper tuning and carb with adjustable float heights, like the Ducati's.

Replace worn bare brass needle jets in stock carbs with Factory Pro's own stock replacement nickel plated needle jets.

The needle, stock or aftermarket, will wear the needle jet orifice oblong - causing excess fuel to flow at cruise and low rpm. Additionally, the fuel that does get released is in larger, less burnable droplets. Replace the emulsion tubes / needle jets if there is more than 10k miles of varied use or 5k miles of in town driving on the bike before trying to tune. You will save time and energy.

Note that, with fuel level adjustments, you can make some mixture adjustments with the "fuel level", as adjusted by "float height" changes.

Factorini Provente Shift Kit

Love the bike? Except for the shifting? Hard to find neutral?

The famous Factorini Provente Shift Kit is now available for the Ducati Twins.

Factorini Provente designed and manufactured Microbearing Detent Arm and Factorini Provente designed Detent Spring will firm up the shift feel and virtually eliminates missed shifts - both upshifting and downshifting and neutral is easier to find.

Trackday and race bikes

Eliminates the need for that old, annoying "ducati trick" of removing the "really kinda necessary" neutral detent that was done to quicken up the shifting on trackday and race bikes - all too often...... (did I mention that when I put a bike in neutral on the dyno, that I really prefer it to STAY in neutral and not "wander into 1st gear by itself? :-)

Shifts quicker.  Misses fewer shifts.
Perfect to install when working on the clutch.

Remove the clutch assembly, remove the RH engine cover  - bolt in the kit.

Includes: Factorini Provente Microbearing Detent Arm and Factorini Provente Detent Spring.
(This kit does not include a clutch cover gasket)

Installation: Less than 2 hours to install with impact wrench and large socket set.

Can I install it myself?  Yes - If you can remove the clutch assembly, you can do this.

Marc,

 Good positive feel to all gears up and down, biggest improvement is selecting neutral, far better than stock.

 I can highly recommend the upgrade.

Regards, Bob

ND-X24epr-ZU9
Platinum Tip Spark Plugs

We stock and distribute
Denso spark plugs.
Dealer inquiries invited.

 

Denso (ND, Nippon Denso) is the largest OEM supplier for autos and motorcycles of electrical components in the world. Sometimes, people forget that Denso makes pretty darn good spark plugs, too! Wide heat range properties discourage plug fouling at low speed AND overheating at high speed.
We have been using Denso spark plugs in our AMA Supersport bikes since Denso was Nippon Denso and ND. We have found that some standard, <$10, off the shelf, Denso spark plugs work as well as $125 special spark plugs - on a professional roadrace level!
Codes:
X = 12mm thread with 18mm spark plug wrench required
24 = Heat range. (Hint - it is ~3x NGK #. I.E. an "8" heat range in NGK)
E = 3/4" reach
P = Projected tip type plug
R = Resister type internal construction
Z = Thin platinum center electrode w/ tapered ground (side) electrode
U = "U Groove" side electrode for better spark and finally..
9 = is "pregapped" at .9mm (I think you should check all "pregapped" plugs before you install them...That's my paranoia showing.)

The only way to easily and accurately measure float heights.
 Works on nearly every carburetor.

Yes! This is the wicked, cool, Factory Pro approved, we don't make any money on it, dealio made just for adjusting float heights. Unchanged since the days of when it was a special Honda tool for adjusting the S65 and S90 carbs back in the 60's.

And, yes, you can also use a set of vernier, or digital or dial calipers and get the same results as the coolio $49.95 Special Tool. But then, you wouldn't have the coolio tool to amaze your friends!

Float Height Setting Trick for 38mm "Mik's"
One of the problems with setting the float height on the 38mm downdraft Mikuni's that come on Ducati's, yzf 750's, tdm 850's and fzr1000's, is that the darn white plastic "float cage" keeps popping out of the carb body unless you hold it in.

When you hold it in with your fingers, you always flex the cage frame and distort the reading that you are setting the float height at..... Aaarrggghhh!!  :-)

After spending 45 minutes setting some yzf750 carbs (same carb body as the Duc) in the sweltering Mid Ohio heat of summer, I decided to make a float cage holder and sell 'em! I'd make a million  $$!!

That reminds me, as I was doing that, a vp named Paul from dj came up to the team I was working for, stood in front of me (It wasn't raceday and I was incognito) and started telling the team owner why the dj kit was better than the Factory kit... The team had taken out the dj kit races ago and was running stock needles when they switched to our carb kit.... and that's what they told him. I added that it would probably be better, too, to know who he's taking in front of in the future....... and any time he wanted to do a blind track comparison of the dj kit vs the fp kit, I was game.
That was the yzf750 carb kit - the same yzf carb kit that dj sponsored Vance and Hines used in Tom Kipp's bike when he started finishing podium in AMA 750 Supersport.
That's a whole other story that's somewhere on this ~600 page website)

When I got back to work, I set up and made a pile of cute little flat braces.

As I was sitting there, admiring my cleverness...... one of my parts guys wandered by and asked what was I making? I showed him that you could just take my clever little piece of aluminum and hold those float cages right tightly up into their seated position - so you could get consistent float height readings.

He says.....
It looks like you could just put the float bowl on with the front holes on the bowl lined up with the rear holes on the carb body and slap some screws in and it would do the same thing...........
I bought him lunch with the million $$ I didn't make....

Hello.  Here’s the pics you asked for!  Thanks for the help, the bike runs BEAUTIFULLY now, lots more power!  The front end now comes up on the throttle – whereas it didn’t before!  There’s another pic in there too where I used a bar code to measure the bowls.  I found this a lot easier than using a ruler.  I measured the bar next to the number “8” on my barcode to be the recommended height on my bike – 14mm.

-Mike Beary

Thanks Mike, for the pics!
